Fuel Consumption Calculator Spreadsheet

How to Use This Calculator

Using the fuel consumption calculator is simple:

1. Enter the total distance traveled in your vehicle
2. Input the total amount of fuel consumed
3. Select your preferred fuel unit (liters or gallons)
4. Select your preferred distance unit (kilometers or miles)
5. Click "Calculate" to see your fuel consumption rate

The calculator will display your fuel efficiency in liters per 100 kilometers (L/100km) or miles per gallon (MPG) depending on your unit selections.

Formula Explained

The fuel consumption rate is calculated using the following formula:

This formula gives you a clear measure of how efficiently your vehicle uses fuel. Lower numbers indicate better fuel efficiency.

Worked Example

Let's say you traveled 500 kilometers and consumed 30 liters of fuel. Here's how to calculate your fuel consumption:

This means your vehicle consumes 6 liters of fuel for every 100 kilometers traveled.
